And I cannot understand how it can be *more recent* if this is my first visit back to a page which was published months ago!

It's possible that the post or page "autosaved" after you updated but left the editor open for a while.

Or perhaps you had two windows or tabs open, each with the same post or page while editing. My daughter critisizes me for having too many tabs open at once because I like having instant access to everything I'm working on. Sometimes I forget that an editor is already open. It's the empty desk vs cluttered desk situation…

@thornintheirside

I am not a new blogger, but I also find the new revisions page confusing. I liked directly selecting which date I wanted to see; the little arrows up on top force you to click multiple times, and it 's unclear which version is which. It would be more elegant to have a "restore this version" button above each column.

I like the fact that WordPress is automatically saving my work every few minutes, but it's not clear/intuitive how to proceed when you get to the page in which you compare the two different revisions. If I want to choose to save the version in green on the right side of the screen, what do I do? It would be simpler if there was a button above each of the two revisions being compared that said "Select this revision" or something.

It's not about writing an article. It's about arriving cold at WP and opening an existing post to find a "more recent" version of the text being offered by Autosave. And I cannot understand how it can be *more recent* if this is my first visit back to a page which was published months ago!

The autosave issue has been reported. Thank you for adding to the report information.

If you "know" that the version you are looking at is the "right" version, ignore the warning.

Better yet, do as many pro bloggers and publishers do and write and edit your article in a quality text editor before copying and pasting it into WordPress. I've found fewer edits are required within the WordPress editors over 10 years of using WordPress daily.

If there is an issue such as a computer crash or accidental closing of the browser or page you are editing in WordPress, the new revision compare will help you to see the changes between versions, but remember that WordPress is not a word processor. You will have to do a little work to get it right across versions.

Sorry for the confusion. They are working on this. Thanks!

For some time now when we log in at WP this red message appears above a post/page: “There is an autosave of this post that is more recent than the version below.” Yet it usually is not.

I have just wasted half an hour trying to decipher the differences and still can't be certain which one to select as being the most recent edit.

Beneath the published version it says “Last edited by OTL on June 5, 2012”. The latest autosave is now dated "12 mins ago 10 May 2013" - but I haven’t touched the text on this visit, so how can it be called a "revision"? This only increases confusion when I visit this page in six months’ time and worry whether I made some changes last time and they haven’t been published. As far as I can tell, they have been, and the autosave is a generation BEHIND what is visible on the published page.

The most useless device is to accept the invitation to view both versions side by side - “Compare Revisions of PAGE X” - because you now see two columns of text, the left column in red and at right a colmun in green. But on this screenview there is NO INDICATION which one is the “current” or which is the “autosave” because neither is dated. An invitation says “restore this revision” but WHICH ONE IS "THIS” REVISION??

You must check virtually every line in each column to discover that the green right-hand version *seems* to be the one currently visible to the public, so why is an “autosave” being offered for consideration bearing a later date than the published version and with the message that it is a "later" version so must contain further edits? (In fact, I *think* it actually contains an earlier version of the text.)

All this wastes so much time whenever you revisit a post/page, worrying that your last edit didn't update successfully. Total confusion!

I’m working on updating my webpage, and I’d like to add a few custom plugins/widgets to help make the site look better. On previous posts I’ve seen, it says to go on the left side in the control panel and head to plugins > add….the problem is that’s not available on the drop down list. There's a button that says appearance, which opens into widgets, however, it does not say "add" at all. Is this a function of my theme (I’m using matala) or would my version of WordPress be outdated?

If this is the case, I’m unsure how to check the version of wordpress I’m using. I’ve looked at the source code (by going through a browser), and wasn’t able to find it. I’ve also read that wordpress will tell you in the control panel, but I’m not seeing it. Additionally, I’m curious to know what wordpress is updating…would this update reset my theme and content?

Which leads me into the next problem on my agenda…using FTP. I’m unsure how to setup an FTP account for my site so that I can upload plugins/widgets, perform backups, etc… In the forums, it said for me to contact the website hosting company to get the FTP website information as well as the login information. I’m unsure who this is, because we purchased an upgrade from within wordpress itself. So I have no information in regards to the website, or login information. If this is the same as my wordpress login or do I need to actually create another login?
Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. The website is getthererecovery.com.

Thanks!

I typically schedule updates of subsequent chapters during the afternoon on the next day. Unfortunately, this means that the chapter is posted, but given how I designed the site, nothing links to it, except the side widgets, but I doubt most people pay attention to that.

Obviously I have to add the three links (one on the front page, one on the story-specific page, and one for the 'next' button on the previous chapter) after the story is published, otherwise it'll lead to a 404 error.

But it kinda defeats the purpose of scheduling the thing if I have to manually set the links to it at that time.

Revisionary

This plugin allows the ability to schedule updates to pre-existing pages and posts. Which would come in real handy for my purposes.

I don't know if it might end up being problematic or confusing for most users. If that is the case, it might be useful to set it up as an optional feature, that needs to be selected.

Just an idea.
